Over the past year, I have had to fly back and forth between Michigan and California several times. I used my desktop Mac for booking my flights online; the idea here was to save time and money from booking the “old-fashioned way.” On flight days, I took my PowerBook with me of course. My plan was that to use the laptop to help pass the time. I might get some work done on an article or just watch a movie on DVD. Unfortunately, my ideas and plans turned out to have very little in common with the realities of airline travel.

Been there and done that. 
Why I like to book Exit Rows or bulkheads, carry three batteries with me, and do my best to connect via DEN and SFO where there are plenty of power ports and usually a T-Mobile (DEN uses AT&T, alas) access I can use throughout the day for a single payment.
